An NREL Study Shows That Grid Upgrades Are Needed for eVTOL Charging, But On-Site Generation and Storage Can Help Electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft might quickly move passengers over mountains or float them across urbanscapes. But first, an important consideration for these flying batteries is where they will … [continued]
NREL’s Analysis of Electric Charging Infrastructure Will Prepare Airports To Welcome Sustainable Aircraft While Boosting Grid Resilience and Connecting Communities
If you’ve followed the topic of electric aircraft, you know that the smaller unmanned variety is currently dominating the segment. Small aircraft need less energy, and that has made powering them with electricity instead of fossil fuels possible. Plus, they displace fossil fuel-powered manned aircraft in many cases, so they’re … [continued]
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is slowly warming up to electric aircraft, but regulatory approval takes far too long.
